What’s your favorite book?
Anything by Phyllis A. Whitney, Victoria Holt and Jean Plaidy
What’s a genre you want to write?…
I love reading historicals, but I’ll leave the hard work to those industrious authors who like research.
Best writing advice you ever heard?…
Keep writing. With so many books being published, the best advertising for an author is another book.
What’s the title and genre of your first book, and where can we find it?
Prelude and Fugue. An oldy but a goody. As a pianist, I wrote this based on some of my experiences, but this book is more fact than fiction and was fun to write. It’s available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007LQD6GG
Easy
Coffee or tea? I like them both
Sit down dinner or drive through? Sit down. I love conversation and a nice dinner.
Fold laundry immediately or let it sit? Actually, my husband does the laundry.
Unload dishwasher right away or use dishes from it? I unload it only because does the cooking and we have lots of dishes.
Driving for pleasure or avoid driving anywhere? If I didn’t have to drive, that would be fine with me, but my husband would be antsy so we find ourselves exploring whenever we can.
Talk or text? Talking is nice. I hate when I have cut a conversation short, though.
Emoji or smilie? If the emoji is available, I’ll use it. With all those symbols, I could never figure out how to make my own.

Read Sannah, a Stone Age romance by Miriam Newman @miriamnewman #RLFblog #NewRelease # ancient times historical fiction #romance
Taken from her Stone Age camp by a man who is both warrior and shaman, Sannah must find a way to survive in the historical fiction romance, Sannah, by Miriam Newman.
Miriam, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Sannah.
Sannah by Miriam Newman
Genre ancient times historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Taken captive in a raid on her Stone Age camp, Sannah is abducted by a man who is both warrior and shaman. Memmet believes she was given to him by the spirits and will keep her at any cost.
Why did you write this book?
After writing historical romance set in 1066 at the time of the Norman Conquest of England, I was looking for a little different period in history to explore. And, wow, did my muse respond—all the way back to the Stone Age.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance, definitely. Historical and fantasy are my two favorites, and if they are combined, so much the better!
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
King Arthur was always a definite favorite.
What are you working on at the moment?
My historical fantasy trilogy, The Chronicles of Alicia, has just reverted to me and I am assembling it into an ebook and print bundle for readers both old and new.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Aside from my trilogy, next year should see the release of two historical romances, Flame of Normandy and Clothilde. They are the prequel and sequel to my book The Comet, but can be easily read as standalone novels. Both go back to possibly my favorite time period, the Norman Conquest.

Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was published in poetry before catching the romance writing bug. I bring that background to my writing along with a lifelong addiction to horses, an 18 year career in various areas of psychiatric social services and many trips to Ireland, where I nurture my muse. My published works range from contemporary fantasy romance to fantasy historical, futuristic, science fiction and historical romance. Currently I live in rural Pennsylvania with a “motley crew” of rescue animals.

Read the series: Seducing the Darkness by Shiela Stewart @shielasue #RLFblog #Paranormal romance
No one is safe when the sun is gone in Shiela Stewart’s Paranormal Romance, Seducing the Darkness. Not even the vampires.
Shiela Stewart, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your series.
Seducing the Darkness in the The Darkness series
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
An outcast by her kind, Trinity Ford has learned to live on her own…not an easy thing to do when you’re a vampire.
Trinity was once a fragile girl. Being taken by a powerful vampire prince changed her. Discovering him in the arms of another woman changed destiny. Alone, she’s learned fast how to be tough, how to survive, and how to protect the people in her city from the evil that lurks in the dark. She was managing just fine, until Basil walked back into her life.
Basil Hawthorn has been the reigning prince of vampires since banishing his father to the Realm of Dark Mystics decades earlier. When a prophetic dream makes him realize Trinity’s life is at risk, he decides the only way to save her is to push her away. Doing so is not easy. Trinity is the only woman he has ever loved, ever will love, and he can’t seem to let her go.
When rumors arise of a plan to raise the King and blot out the sun, both Trinity and Basil know they must do everything to stop it. Even if it means working together. Despite the betrayal and the threat, they find themselves drawn to each other. Love has no boundaries, especially in the face of danger. But will they be able to stop the ritual before it’s too late?
Or will the darkness capture them both?
Which book is this in the series?
Seducing the Darkness is the first book.
How many books do you plan for the series?
Originally it was only going to be a single book with everything wrapping up in Seducing the Darkness. After my publisher read it, she asked if I might consider making it a series. She was thinking 3 books. I couldn’t let the characters go, so 8 were created.
How many books are completed?
All 8 books are complete. I was writing one book while editing the other so that all 8 could be released in one year.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
The heroine is Trinity Ford and she’s a vampire as is the hero, Basil Hawthorn. He is also the Prince of vampires. They are the lead in the first six books, then make guest appearances in the last two.There are also 3 other characters that are key in every book.
What is the overall theme in this series?
Trinity isn’t your normal vampire. She wants to keep her city safe by taking out as many bad vampires as she can. But when a ritual is performed to blot out the sun over Jacob’s Cove, she has her hands full. Each book introduces a new character that are love interests for the 3 other main characters. With the sun gone, the vampires are taking over. Trinity, Basil and the other characters try to save what humans haven’t fled the city while trying to bring the sun back. In the midst of all the mayhem, love blooms adding brightness to a very dark situation. Each book takes up where the previous ended.
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

Embracing the Darkness Bk 3
Charming the Darkness Bk 4
Tempting the Darkness Bk 5
Penetrating the Darkness Bk 6

Surviving the Darkness A New Beginning Bk 8What did you like best about writing this series?
The ability to keep the hero and heroines storyline going. Unlike most other romance series books, I give the readers a look at what happens to the couples after their budding romance begins.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
To date I have 15 published books with a 16th and 17th on in editing.

The consequences in Tena Stetler’s new paranormal romance/mystery/time travel Hidden Gypsy Magic come to life in an old house in Salem, a cabin in Maine and a trip back in time to right a wrong. Will it be too late?
Tena, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Hidden Gypsy Magic.
Hidden Gypsy Magic by Tena Stetler
Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery/Timetravel
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor’s life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can’t help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen’s sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter’s lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only “non-haunted” house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family’s cabin uncovers a heritage he didn’t know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.
Why did you write this book?
Gwen was introduced in A Witch’s Journey. Brock came to fruition in A Witch’s Holiday Wedding. They insisted on their own story. Then my friend adopted three baby desert tortoises. A story line began in play out in my head, since Gwen is a wildlife rehabilitator and Brock is a veterinarian. They live and work in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem as always intrigued me, so I put a twist on the witch trials and a trip back in time. Then I threw in poachers in present time and a dog and owl rescue. Still the what if’s just kept coming and Hidden Gypsy Magic was born.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love read all kinds of genres. Favorite if I had to pick one would be paranormal, fantasy, mystery all rolled into one. I like Science Fiction too.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Dianna Bishop from A Discovery of Witches.
Or Hermione Granger from Harry Potter Series.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m doing edits on the sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series. And researching my book for The Wild Rose Press’s Wylder Series (It will be my first attempt at a paranormal historical time travel) I’m really excited about both projects. I can’t wait to get them in the hands of my readers.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Hidden Gypsy Magic releases today, September 28, 2020. It’s the third book in A Witch’s Journey Series. But is also a standalone.
Chocolate Raspberry Magic will release in April of 2021. It’s part of the One Scoop or Two summer series and the fourth book in A Witch’s Journey Series.
I hope to release the sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series in 2021 as well as the Wylder book by the end of 2021. Fingers crossed.
All books in my series can be read as standalones.
